Pompano Beach, Broward County
Demolition in Pompano Beach
Condominium towers line Pompano Beach's shore on A1A, and each one of three or more stories falls under Florida's milestone inspection law. When a milestone report calls for concrete repair, the first trade on site is selective demolition, opening finishes and damaged concrete so the engineer can see the steel.
The milestone law, passed in 2022 as SB 4-D, requires condominium and cooperative buildings of three or more stories to have a structural inspection by an architect or engineer. As amended in 2023, the first inspection falls due by the year a building turns 30 and repeats every ten years, and the local building official may require it at 25 where conditions such as salt air call for it. The inspection is structural; it does not certify that a building meets the current Florida Building Code.
Demolition inside an occupied tower is a different job from a teardown. Residents stay, elevators are shared, debris leaves through one loading area, and the association sets the working hours. We plan the sequence floor by floor with the association manager and the engineer of record, who keeps every structural decision.
Inland, Pompano's single-family streets include canal lots off the Intracoastal and older block houses, where a teardown follows the ordinary order: survey, utility disconnects, permit, demolition, final inspection.

Questions
Demolition in Pompano Beach
Our Pompano Beach condominium needs repairs after its milestone inspection. Is part of that demolition?
Usually, yes. Concrete and structural repair starts with selective demolition, which removes finishes, coatings and damaged concrete so the engineer can inspect and specify the repair. We quote that scope against the engineer's documents and coordinate it with the association. The structural design stays with the engineer of record.
What does a demolition cost?
Every job is quoted from a site visit, or from photos and drawings when that is enough to see the scope. The number depends on what the building is made of, its size and height, what the asbestos survey finds, which utilities must be disconnected, access for equipment, how close the neighbors are, what stays and what goes, and where the debris is hauled. We do not publish prices, because two jobs that look alike rarely are.
What happens with asbestos before demolition?
The building is surveyed first by an independent licensed consultant, because federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before a regulated demolition and the county's notice depends on it. If the survey finds asbestos that the work will disturb, a licensed abatement firm removes it. Romco coordinates both; we are not an abatement contractor.
How long does a demolition take?
We do not quote durations before the facts are in. The schedule depends on permit review in your city, how quickly the utility disconnect letters arrive, what the asbestos survey finds and any notice period that follows, association approvals, and the size and construction of the building. Once those are known, we give you a sequence with the dependencies named.
